HEATING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 14, 1911'.

Application filed December 15, 1908. Serial No. 467,607.

To all whom 'it may concern: I Be it known that I, Anornn PHILO, acitizen of the United States of America, residing at Cleveland, in thecounty of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Heating- Stoves; and I hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains tomake and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in stoves.

The object of this invention is to provide a stove, of the type commonlyknown as parlor heating stoves, which can be readily converted into acooking stove.

My invention also consists in providing means whereby a portion of themain heating chamber can be converted into an oven.

My invention also consists in the features of construction andcombination of parts described in the specification, pointed out in theclaim and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of a stoveembodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a section on line 22, Fig. 1. Fig. 3is a section on line 3--3, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig. 2but showing the reflector plate arranged in position to form the bottomof the oven.

Again referring to the drawings 1 represents the outer casing of thestove which may be formed of any suitable material and is preferablyprovided with legs 2. In the front part of the casing are formedopenings 4 and 5 which are provided with hinged doors 6 and 7respectively, in the usual manner. In the lower part of the stove isarranged a burner 8 which is provided with a supply pipe 9. At the topof the stove is arranged a horizontal partition 10 having an opening 11in the center thereof. burner 12 which has a supply "pipe 13 which ispreferably connected with the supply pipe 9. The supply pipes 9 and 13,are preferably provided with valves 14 and 15 respectively. In the lowerpart of the stove behind the main burner is arranged a removablereflector plate 17 which when the stove is simply used for heatingpurposes acts as a reflector to throw the heat against the front part ofthe stove from which it is radiated into the room. On each side of theBelow this partition is arranged a casing is secured a support or flange18 which extends from the front of the stove to within a short distanceof the back thereof, and on the back of the casing is secured a similarsupport or flange 19. The rear ends of the supports 18 hold thereflector plate 17 in position when it is used for the purpose of areflector, but when it is desired to use the plate to form the bottom ofan oven the reflector plate is drawn up and arranged horizontally on thesupports 18 and 19. In the supports 18 are preferably formed openings 21and on the reflector plate 17 are formed lugs 20 which enter the saidopening 21 when the plate is in a horizontal position and prevent itsdisplacement. In the upper part of the casing are arranged a series 0partitions 22, 23, 24= and 25 which divide the upper part of the stoveinto four chambers 22, 23, 2 1 and 25. In the artitions 22, and-2 4; areformed openings 2 and 28, respectively, which are arran ed near thesides of the casing, and .in t e partition 23 are formed centrallyarranged openings 29. The partition 25 is imperforate and in the wall ofthe chamber 25 is formed an opening 30 which communicates with the flue31 and in the wall of the chamber 24' is formed an opening 32 whichcommunicates with the flue 33.

The warm air will rise freely until it strikes the partition 22 and willthen pass through the openings 27 near the sides of the easing into thechamber 22' and will then pass through the openings 29 in the center ofthepartition 23 and through the openings 28 in the partition 24 near thesides of the casing and then into the chamber 24 from whence it willpass by way of the flue The products of combustion from the burner 12will be carried away through the flue 31.

The stove is preferably provided with a removable ornamental top 26.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a stove having all theadvantages of an ordinary heatingstov'e" but which can be readilyconverted so as to he used for cooking purposes when desired.

WVhat I claim is,-

In a stove, the combination of a maim chamber, a burner arranged in thelower part of said chamber, a plate, means for supporting said plate atthe rear of said burner so as to serve as a reflector, means forsupporting said plate above said burner so as to serve as the bottom foran oven; a series of chambers and 21V fine connected with the up- 10partitions arranged 1n the upper part of IPGIIDOSE chamber.

said chamber and dividing the upper part thereof into a series ofsmaller chambers, said partitions provided With passages connecting thechambers and arranged so 'as to cause the air and gases to travel fromthe sides to the center 01 the stove and then to the sides again Whilepassing through said In testimony whereof, I sign the foregoingspecification, in the presence of two W1tnesses.
